Lukasz and Alen want to ignite bridges… over troubled water

Saturday night at the G2Arena in Rzeszow, Poland, the Polish Lukasz Rozanski (14-0) and Croatian Alen “The Savage” Babic (11-0) will fight for the vacant World Boxing Council Bridger title.

Babic, a thirty-two-year-old who made a living as a nightclub bouncer for a decade before finding his calling and making it big in boxing, is five years Lukasz’s junior.

However, Lukasz, who always fought in his homeland of Poland as a professional, now has the chance of a lifetime because he will be fighting for the championship in his hometown of Rzeszow.

Lukasz has built a 14-0 ide record, 13 KOs, since he turned pro in 2015. In his most recent fight, he knocked out former heavyweight contender Artur Szpilka in the first round. Early in his career, he stopped former British and EBU heavyweight champion Michael Sprott in two rounds.

Alen, nicknamed The Savage, is also undefeated with a record of 11-0, 10 KO`s. His professional debut was in 2019. His KO record was punctuated in his most recent fight against Adam Balski, in which he won the vacant WBC Silver Bridger title by decision.

Both warriors passed the weigh-in without problems. Lucasz Rozanski clocked in at 222.2 pounds, while Alen Babic stopped the scale appreciably lighter, at 210.8 pounds.

The card will be presented by BOXXER in association with Knockout Promotions and will be broadcast on Sky Sports.s.
